Srinagar, 30-Aug; Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the only leader after Mahatma Gandhi who understood the sentiments of the masses. Singh heaped praise on Modi’s governance and organisational capabilities and said he has no parallel in contemporary politics.Speaking at the release of the book, ‘The Architect of the New BJP: How Narendra Modi Transformed the Party’, Rajnath Singh said Prime Minister directly connects with people who in turn trust him. Defence Minister said, Modi has made the BJP a ‘poll-winning machine’ with his innovations, without compromising on ideology.  Singh said, the BJP’s ideology and political events may have contributed to the party’s ‘invincible’ journey in the last eight years, but Modi’s strategy in taking this concept to people and winning their trust is without a parallel.Defence Minister said, whatever work he was assigned by the BJP, Modi carried it out and delivered more than expectations.  Singh also praised Modi’s innovative approach and the changes he effected in the traditional mode of functioning. Rajnath Singh cited surveys to assert that Modi’s enduring popularity has left not only Indian but also global leaders behind.(CNS)
